The world is much beset with conflict and also with greed and currently people are getting very worked up about politics and political personalities. There is a great need for people with peace and generosity in their hearts. This is not achieved…

I have a good friend Lin, who would very much like accompany me on a visit to France. A later Autumn/Winter/Spring visit may be on the cards......
"Everyday has been a miracle for all of us in the 2017 Korean Workshop."
This is a special time for all of us: The participants' level of aspiration to learn and practice as they learn from you is higher than previous years; and your teaching is profound and I feel like we are a chosen few who are blessed. I can not think of any other better cultivation of mind and Buddhist training.
Thank you very much and enjoy being in Korea this summer.

Hello again,
I am learning to navigate this site and am still a bit clumsy. I'll figure it out. Kim
Thank you for the welcome and the invitation to visit. I would like to do that, but I am not sure where you are?
Thanks, David. Have cited you in a paper I'm writing on Person-Centred Therapy. Hope to visit in person sometime.
Hi David and everyone:
Finally!! The lovely interview you provided for my website http://www.soulsciences.net comes out this Wednesday, June 22 at 10 am EST...about 4 pm your time, right? It was a lively talk you gave, David, sprinkled as always with much wisdom and generous helpings of deep love....thank you!
And David, I have sent the files to you on your email, but with all the flurry since, I'm not sure you have received them. If you'd like I'll resend. Let me know and all my love to you and everyone in this warm, loving community.
Thank you David. I hope you're getting well. Perhaps, will we find a way to see each other this summer.
With kind love, Wangmo
